I still really enjoy it but I feel the same way I did with the original: You boot it up and find a game where your whole squad is communicating and it's an amazing experience that's tons of fun, and then you spend the next two weeks chasing that same experience and either getting half baked communication, or none at all. Then you move on for a few months. I've been struggling to find a reason to play. Hopefully the next update fixes AMD cards and adds FSR 4.1
I've been finding lots of time to play games on my Steam Deck recently, whether that's streaming games like Skate. (won't run natively on the Steam Deck) or emulating older consoles like PS2 and GBA. Skate. is fun but falls victim to the same tropes as all other live service games: Drip-feed content, paywall early access, and battle-passes. The biggest issue with the game is they release new parks for paid early access, yet the main play area is the most bland, boring open world I've ever seen. Skate 2 surpasses it by miles, and Skate 3 is imo worse than Skate 2 but is still fun with areas to lay down lines and gain speed and airtime.
I've also been playing Metroid: Zero Fusion, honestly the only Metroid experience I've ever had but it's such a good game. I own Dread, I just haven't gotten around to it. Speaking of GBA, I've been trying to complete the Pokedex for Pokemon: Modern Emerald. It's a modernized version of Emerald that adds new Pokemon. I've gotten my Pokedex to 302 so far.

The matchmaking, the gun play, everything is just so much better than what I've been used to with the last four years of Call of Duty.
I also recently got my hands on a PSVR2 headset, which I used to play Gran Turismo 7 on Saturday, and it's just so revolutionary to me. The ability to look in to turns and feel some sort of spatial awareness is just outstanding. I did a 50 lap race against the AI on Saturday and before I knew it an hour and a half had gone by.
Last but not least I bought a Steam Deck a few months ago and I love it! Having the ability to go through my entire PC library and play most of it, as well as the fact that if I purchase a game on my deck I can also play it on my PC is just awesome. I honestly think this might be the way for me in the future.

I've been house sitting for someone and I wasn't able to bring my entire wheel and pedal set with me, so I've mainly been redoing the license tests and going through the circuit experiences for each track. Before house sitting, I was playing tons of Sport mode races, and I am so itching to get back to those, but I feel like going from a wheel and pedal set back to a controller will not make me as competitive online. From a leak I read last week, the next update is supposed to be a big one, supposedly a direct response to Forza Motorsport 8's release, and I'm hoping its the true single player experience people were expecting, not just a couple cars and more menu books. I'm also on the edge about getting a PSVR2... It's looks like tons of fun, and I love the idea of VR racing. I feel like racing in VR is one of the only places where VR truly shines. But on the other hand, its really expensive and I don't like the idea of paying upwards of $500 on a peripheral for one game.
Looking forward to the new Call of Duty, I know lots of people think it's a dead horse but its a franchise that keeps me coming back. I played the beta until I reached max rank, and I had so much fun. I'm glad its a departure from the last game, the new one suits my playstyle more.

Upgraded the speakers to the new 80db speakers, upgraded the hinges to the new 4.0g hinges, and I might upgrade to the matte screen and get the CNC top cover soon, as mine has a dent in the top from something.

However, I do like the idea of swapping a battery out when my old one stops holding charge, and I like having my phone for as long as possible. Hopefully this is possible without going back to plastic backs, the last phone I had with a removable battery was a Galaxy S5.

Comment on Thoughts on making Tildes groups more independent in ~tildes.official

I know this isn't trying to be a reddit replacement, but I really want to participate here and one of the issues I'm trying to get over is that the groups are so massive that most of the discussion isn't relevant to me. Like ~sports is great, but I only watch baseball, so most of the stuff in it is irrelevant to me. Same with ~games, I only play a certain subset of games so most of the discussion isn't really all that relevant to me.
I think it would be a great idea to have sub groups under the current ones, for example you have ~sports, and then underneath that you have ~baseball, ~football, etc etc. This way, you can join a subset that's more relevant for you, or you can stay subscribed to ~sports and you'll get all the top posts from all the subsets.
Some groups are harder to do this for, for example ~books can't really be split up but then again it doesn't really need to be because all discussion can typically fall under one umbrella.
Maybe don't let users start their own groups because that would just fraction an already small userbase, but I like the idea of making sure I'm seeing more relevant content in order for me to engage.
They're official Pokemon from the national dex, mostly Gen IV I believe. The one that stood out to me the most was Regigigas
